Verrazzano Bridge Toll Increases in April Because Bay Ridge Politicians Failed
The Verrazzano Bridge toll will be increasing in April. (See here)
The politicians for Bay Ridge have a history of standing in front of the Verrazzano Bridge, taking a picture and acting like they did something to change the toll.

Not one of the politicians shown above or below did anything to decrease the toll cost from Brooklyn to Staten Island. It doesn’t matter if it is Republicans or Democrats.
Gounardes did not do his job. His March 2019 sits in Committee. (See here)
People thought the politicians did something because local newspapers hailed the bill. But then newspapers never followed up and told you that the bill didn’t go anywhere.
Max Rose was the only elected who made any change to the Verrazzano toll. Rose’s bill was for a two-way toll, so less traffic would come through Staten Island/Brooklyn.
We need regular people representing us, not politicians. Regular people wouldn’t tweet nonsense or fill our papers with press releases about things they haven’t done.

It’s true, all press release and no follow through.
